Bar Axle - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

SECTION 3 - - FIELD OPERATION
BAR AXLE (where fitted)
CAUTION
Your tractor is produced with lights that meet lighting
regulations when operating or travelling on the public
highway. If the wheel track setting is adjusted beyond
the initial factory position then you may be required
to reposition the lights or fit auxiliary lighting to
comply with legal requirements. Additionally, before
travelling on the highway, ensure that the overall
tractor width does not exceed the maximum
permitted in your country.
INTRODUCTION
Tractors equipped with a bar axle may have fixed or
manual adjust wheels. The wheels are attached to a
cast iron hub (3) which is clamped to the bar axle (1).
After unclamping the hub, the wheel may be moved
along the bar to provide a range of track widths. A
range of 190 mm (7.5 in.) of movement per wheel, or
380 mm (15 in.) overall, is available with the 98 inch
axle.
Track width adjustment is effected by moving the
complete wheel/hub assemblies in or out on the axle
226
shaft. Reduce the track width by moving the wheel
towards the tractor, increase the width by moving the
wheel outwards.
Additionally, repositioning the wheel rim on the
centre disc or reversing the centre disc on the axle
hub will provide a wider range of adjustment.
Tractor wheels are very heavy so it is recommended
that you do not remove them to reposition the rims
on the disc unless the track setting required is
outside the slide range of the bar axle.
